I’ve been getting my crafty on with the advent of December. It’s been fun to “bake” my UTEE people to embellish holiday cards with. You can still order cards by messaging me The card creating was interrupted by a custom holiday order of a collage I did earlier this month. Even though I used the […]
Happy Thanksgiving! This year it has really snuck up on me. It feels surreal that everyone will be gathered around Turkey and trimmings tomorrow. After the Halloween push it seems the stores are skipping straight ahead to Christmas. One distressed little girl asked her mom if they were skipping Thanksgiving this year: “Why does the […]
A few leaves have left their impressions in concrete around town. It may be a result of a path that previously looked like this: Nature’s art is so fascinating. Some trees look very fiery these days. And others are bare already. Wishing you inspiration and joy along your path today. PS: Impressionism is properly […]
Happy Halloween! My neighborhood has been getting spooky, creepy and harvesty over the past few weeks. I don’t have a yard to decorate but always delight in seeing the lengths others go through for this holiday. Step up on these ratty stairs: Are you interested in trick or treating here?

Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn. ~Elizabeth Lawrence The leaves are beginning to drop in bunches and the colorings are gorgeous. We’ve lucked out with some Indian Summer weather too and cloudless skies. I snapped some pictures at my local nature preserve. Autumn is a second spring when every leaf […]
Happy Fall and happy Friday. The weather hasn’t been as photogenic as last year, but the leaves are turning and I hope to take a hike in a nearby preserve this weekend. I love the smell of rainsoaked earth and leaves. I pulled out my leaf collection from years before to play with some layouts. We’ll […]
I love it when this tree blooms. The flowers are so pretty in pink. You can see the pollen on the bee’s feet. Hopefully your week is blossoming too.
Happy Fourth of July! This has always been a profound weekend for me where I declared “independence” in some way shape or form. From too much loyalty to a job to bad food habits to waiting for someone to travel with to go places. Red White and Blue are my fatherland colors too so I […]
